About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for many years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I treat every dog I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m dependable, attentive to routines and instructions, and happy to provide walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I also know how reassuring it is to hear that your pet is doing well, so you can expect thoughtful updates and photos during every visit. Whether your dog is energetic and ready to play or would rather have some quiet company and belly rubs, I’ll take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, but I have flexibility with my lunch break and can schedule midday visits as needed. I’m available for morning visits before 8 AM, midday walks or drop-ins, and evening visits after 5 PM. My weekends are much more flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules. I’m happy to work with you to keep your pet as close to their normal routine as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any household routines. I’ll respect your home just as much as I respect your pet and make sure everything is secure before I leave. You can also expect dependable communication, detailed updates, and plenty of photos during each visit, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing.
“She did amazing! She came and watched our dog three days and stayed for the majority of the day! I felt very comfortable with having her in our home and our pup absolutely loved snuggling and playing with her! Overall, I’m so happy we moved forward with her!”
“Dan has been a great sitter. He has kept me updated on my kitties health and emotional well being. He brought my mail in, kept my outdoor pets happy and watered plants for me. Dan is a keeper. I would be happy to have him look after my babies and my home in the future. I definitely recommend him.”
“Zack has been amazing! He is very thorough and wants to do a good job. Great communication, reliable, and responsible. Sends pics and video and keeps you update on how the visits went. We will definitely continue to use him.”
About: I've cared for dogs all my life and have hands on experience with multiple different breeds and personalities. Since I was 11, I've been the go to dog sitter in the neighborhood, for friends, and family. My top priority will be making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved. With having personal experience taking care of my 9 year old shih tzu, I know how to properly care for your dog, while giving you peace of mind. As a college student with a flexible schedule and a deep love for dogs, I'm excited to offer reliable drop-in visits and walking services. My schedule is structured to allow for consistent, personalized attention, ensuring your dog receives the exercise and TLC they need, even around my part-time job and classes. From a brisk neighborhood walk to an extended playtime, I'm committed to providing loving, dependable care for your furry family member. As a responsible and dedicated dog lover, your pets safety and well being is my top priority. I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11, making sure that they have a safe and loving environment. Being able to have trust is vital to care for a dog, and I'm committed to building that relationship with both you and your pet. Consistent updates and open communication are essential parts of my service, so you'll always know how your dog is doing. Creating and inviting a positive and care free environment is crucial for a happy dog. My services will offer playtime, walks in a safe and welcoming environment, and plenty of love and affection. Your dog will feel right at home, whether it be a drop in visit, or a longer session with them.
“Shirley is the best!! She always goes above and beyond for my senior dog making sure he is okay when I have to go out of town. She is so great with Hank - attentive, caring, loving. Everything you hope for when trusting someone to care for your pet when you have to leave town!!”
“I am so thankful to have Kathleen watch my sweet senior kitty while I was on vacation. She is always communicating with me with updates and sending photos and videos to let me see how my cat is doing. I trust her completely with administering her medication as well. I can truly relax on vacation knowing that my cat is so well cared for. Thank you Kathleen!”
About: I grew up always having at least one pet. The first chore I was ever assigned was actually taking care of our cat and dog (at the time) and I did that for a while. Around middle school I started dog-sitting for my parents and I’ve been doing that for quite some time now. I’ve never met an animal (that isn’t super skittish) that doesn’t love or at the very least ‘tolerate’ me. My dogs will follow me around the house or sometimes paw/bark at my door just to see me. Even when it comes to skittish animals (especially cats) they usually warm up to me very quickly. My grandma’s stray rescue cat is petrified of everyone but my grandma. After a week of staying over at my grandma’s she would walk up to me on her own and even sit in my lap. I’m free almost 24/7 except when I’m asleep. I’m currently searching for a job hence the very flexible schedule. I don’t mind late night visits or early morning, my sleep schedule is just as flexible if not more. I respect animals the same way you would people, although we don’t have verbal communication it’s very easy to tell what an animal is feeling based on their body language. I can be stern and assertive without being overly aggressive or anything of that sort. Additionally, I am very respectful of others spaces and homes. I believe heavily in treat others how you want to be treated, so I behave as such and I think that reflects in my pet-care and work ethic
“I will definitely book with Lori again next time we need a sitter for Archie and Buoy. I had a sitter lined up that backed out at the last minute and Lori stepped right in as soon as I requested services. She and her daughters were at my home less than 30 minutes later to meet us and go over everything for the drop ins. She sent great photos and both my crazy dogs looked very happy. She even cleaned up a pile of cardboard they decided to destroy for fun. Highly recommend Lori and her daughters!”
“Great response time. Was able to book Michelle a week in advance (I’m a serious procrastinator), she sent me numerous photos of my pups and kept me informed. Will definitely use for our next vacation.”
About: I’ve had fur babies for as long as I’ve been alive ranging from tiny chihuahuas to large pitties. I love all animals, but have the most experience with dogs. I’m a sucker for a good cuddle or kisses, as I’m sure you can tell from my pictures! I’m available for drop in visits and dog walking visits and would love to have some fun with your pet :) I’m currently working full time Monday-Thursday, but am available on those nights if needed for drop-in visits and at anytime on Fridays and the weekend. I’ll treat your fur baby as if it were my own and provide the love and care they deserve and more! If your pet is anything like mine, they aren’t always comfortable with strangers so I understand the importance of working at their pace and making sure we build trust.
“I’m very pleased to have found Caitlyn to help with my 3 kitties. One requires an inhaler, which is not easy to administer since he hates it, but she was very patient with him making sure he got the treatment he needs. My cats can be shy, but I can tell from the pictures that they enjoyed Caitlyn’s company. I’m grateful to have someone I can trust to help with my sweet boys!”
About: I have grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life! I enjoy being around animals and love to take care of them. I own two female German shorthaired pointers who have TONS of energy! And that’s what I love most about them. I know how important it is to meet all animals exactly where they’re at temperament wise. I truly enjoy being around animals…more than humans sometimes! I look forward to getting to walk or play with your fur babies! I work a hybrid job, so I am remote 2-3 times a week where I am fully home all day with my pups. On the days I go into the office, my partner comes home during lunch to let our dogs out. On weekends, I am home full time as well. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for activities! My own pups love to run around and play fetch back there. Dogs are allowed in furniture and to sleep in the bed in my house.
“Peter was wonderful with our dogs. He took care to be sure our Houdini dog was properly secured before letting her out. He gave plenty of loves. He readjusted the throw on the couch to make sure it remained free from drool and fur. He even included a photo of our ducks one day, even though they weren’t his responsibility for care. Peter stayed in touch via text every visit. I will be booking him again for our future travels.”
“Joy was amazing! This was our first time using the app and she was super helpful and informative. She kept us updated and responds quickly! We will definitely be booking again with her 😊”
“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! She took wonderful care of my pups, sending regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were very happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. Highly professional, reliable, and genuinely caring-couldn’t recommend more! Will definitely book again.”
About: I've been caring for animals of all sizes for most of my adult life. I spent several years caring for animals professionally at a pet boarding facility in Sanford. I also learned a lot about animal care while working as a receptionist in a veterinary clinic. I'm currently only working free lance for a delivery company and am able to dedicate the majority of my time to caring for your pets. It is important to me that your pet sticks to their regular routine while you are away. I always schedule a meeting before booking to take detail notes on your pets daily routine.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lake Mary is $20

Billy did a wonderful job with Chloe! She warmed up to him so well. Billy made sure to keep me updated with every walk and sent me plenty of photos. We’ll totally be booking with him again for our next trip and making sure to let our friends in the area know about Billy’s services ❤️
Adriana is the best! She’s a great communicator and is so reliable which is such a relief when you’re far away from your pets. She is so good with our two big dogs and our cat, they love her! She’s accommodating with medications/ food prep/ walking schedules. I can’t recommend her more!
Great communication, our Samson and Sadie love Ashley and we are so happy we found her and are back to using Rover! Ashley went above and beyond with mail and packages left at the door for us as well, when she didn’t have to. Thank you Ashley will see you again soon.
Jackalyn was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my girls and truly treated them like they were her own. She kept me updated the entire time, was super communicative, accommodating, and very detailed about how they were doing. She also sent me the cutest pictures, which I loved and really helped me feel at ease while I was at work. My girls looked so happy and comfortable with her, and I could tell they absolutely loved spending time with her. It’s always nerve-racking leaving your pets with someone, but Jackalyn made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. She’s truly the best!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Catherine is - my cat Max loves her, and she is simply amazing with him. She always gives him so much attention and affection when she is caring for him. I love getting the pictures, notes and updates each time she drops in to care for him. He was comfortable around her from day one ; I have had her look after my fur baby several times already and I will be rebooking with her again. Thank you, Catherine.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake Mary stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Mary. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
